Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 22 Quidditch Temporary Selection Test

The sun gradually sinks to the west, looming in the lingering clouds.The golden afterglow turned into a beam of light, falling through the gaps between the clouds to the distant mountains.In the majestic and majestic, it also brings a kind of feeling of old man's twilight.

The weather was still very cold, the cold wind was whistling on the Quidditch pitch, and there seemed to be a faint rushing sound from the Forbidden Forest in the distance.

Maca and Charlotte rushed to the court together.He discovered that the lawn of the Quidditch Stadium was obviously enchanted, and it was still green in the cold winter.

"Come on? Hurry up, the test will begin in a while." Darren saw Maca approaching and immediately welcomed him with a smile.

When Maca stretched his arms and kicked his legs to move his muscles and bones, Darren introduced him to the official Hufflepuff players one by one.It turned out that an old team member was about to graduate. After learning about Maca's talent, he simply retired early to prepare for work problems after graduation.

Maca greeted the team members, and then he discovered that besides him, another fourth-grade student would join him in this temporary selection.I don’t know if it was Maca who borrowed the light of that old team member, or the fourth-grade student who borrowed the light of Maca, maybe there are both!

"Alright, let's start!" Darren smiled, then put on a more serious face, and began to explain the test content to the two.

The goal of this temporary test is to recruit a suitable chaser.

In a Quidditch team, there are a total of three chasers. They are responsible for passing the "ghost ball" to each other and trying to put them in the three goal circles of the opposing team.Every time Guifei scores, he can earn points for his team.

The chaser needs to have a strong tacit understanding, and to be able to avoid the "wandering ball" hit by the opponent's batter-this obviously has a higher requirement for the player's flying level.

Before the seeker catches the Golden Snitch, they have to put the "ghost fly ball" into the knocker as much as possible and constantly grab the base score.

The old player who has already retired plays this position.

Therefore, this temporary test was divided into three stages in accordance with the selection practice.

In the first stage, the contestants need to conduct the ghost ball catch and pass tests together with the other two chasers in active service. The test is to test the candidate's reaction ability and passing accuracy.

Guifei Ball is the only ball that does not move by itself among the three ball types. It will be completely controlled by the chasers of both sides.

Maca sat on the broom, watching the fourth grader not far away doing various flying maneuvers stiffly, and suddenly felt—maybe he could really do it.

"It's okay, but the reaction speed is too slow, you should always pay attention to the surrounding situation!" Seeing the other side flying here, Charlotte beside Maca smiled.

She is a seeker for the Hufflepuff Academy and I heard that the level is pretty good.

"Go! My junior, I think it's you!" Charlotte slapped Maca on the back, almost slapped him off the broom.

"Ouch! I said Senior Sister——" "Don't be fussy, go!"

Maca felt that she was like some strange baby in Charlotte's Elf Ball, and she had to go to the court to work hard when she threw it forward.

"Go!" Kristin, the fifth-grade female golf chaser, said, and passed the ghost ball to Maca.

Maca immediately accelerated forward and caught the ghost fly ball at the position it reached.On the edge of the court, team Darren kept shouting "Move up", urging him to start moving irregularly.

"Pass it to me!" shouted another chaser, Charles, who had flown behind Maca by now.

Maca, who was doing a small dive downward, threw the ghost fly ball from his shoulder without looking back.

"Oh! Beautiful back pass!" Darren exclaimed excitedly.

I have to say that Maca's observational power is indeed very strong. He can keep a close eye on the direction of Guifei Ball while grasping the exact positions of the other two.

"Give it to me!" Kristin passed under Maca at high speed. When the two were closest, they were only more than 10 inches.

But Maca still firmly grasped the opportunity and handed the Ghost Flying Ball into her hands the moment Christine passed by.

The stand-by players on the sidelines couldn't help shouting, and the two old chasers in the court exchanged glances with excitement.

Even Christine didn’t even plan to complete the high-speed switching technique just now, but Maca did it!

The two veteran players looked at each other, intending to cooperate in an action that they didn't want to test.

I saw the two quickly drew closer on the broom, and only made a "follow up" movement for Maca and flew forward shoulder to shoulder.

"Two by two, twenty feet apart, interspersed forward, high-frequency pass!" Charles said.

Maca immediately understood that this is a medium technical action in the "Quidditch Classic Action Collection"-the trident attack formation.

He quickly reached the left position, and then spirally interspersed with the other two.While advancing at high speed, the Guifei ball was passed back and forth by the three of them at an extremely high frequency, causing the other players on the sidelines to almost hold their breath.

Until the three of them leaned over and held the ball, they spread out and drew three arcs in the air to plunge into their different goal circles, the three of them stopped one after another.

Charles smiled awkwardly at Maca.In the final moments of the high-speed pass, he didn't catch it—and let it go.

"Charles! It's because of your troubles that we always dare not use difficult moves in official competitions! See how you face Maca today, you know, he is a first-year freshman!" Chris Ting laughed angrily, and she ran aloud at Charles with her long slender fingers.

Maca looked at the brave short-haired big girl, recalling the feeling of cooperating with each other just now, and felt heartily.

"Oh-I know! Then I must practice hard and set a good example for Maca." Charles scratched his head and laughed.

It seems that Maca has already been set by two active chasers in the first stage.

"Captain, I think that's it! It's him, that's right!" Christine shouted toward the team Darren.

When Maca saw Darren also nodded, he glanced at another candidate who was a little frustrated. He felt that accepting the status quo by Enron did not conform to the image he was trying to build.

He thought for a while and said to Darren: "I think it's better to complete the test, otherwise it's unfair to the senior who participated in the selection together."

Darren looked back at the fourth grader next to Charlotte, then nodded.

"Well, you are right." Darren said, "Then continue with the second stage test and throw the ball into the ring."

Of course, this is not simply throwing the ball against the goal circle, the goalkeeper is not a vegetarian!

The goalkeeper of the Hufflepuff Academy is the captain-Darren Chris.

"Hey, junior! Our Captain Darren is at an average goalkeeping level. You can relax a little bit and don't hurt his pride for a while!" Charlotte said with a smile on Maca's shoulders, without lowering his voice at all. Plan.

"I can hear it all!" Darren was at the goal not far away. He was turning his head and staring at the goal here, staring fiercely!

The test for seniors in the fourth grade came to an end very quickly. A total of ten goals were scored and three were scored, which is actually pretty good for the candidates.Of course, this also shows that Darren's defense is really average.

It was Maca's turn. He was holding the Guifei Ball, and seeing Darren hesitated.

"Relax! The stronger you are, the happier I will be. After all, you are our Hufflepuff person!" Darren said to Maca with a smile.

After hearing this, Maca nodded, letting go of his doubts, and rushed to the door knocker on the right.

Darren reacted immediately and moved a little to the right, guessing whether Maca was ready to take a shot or just wanted to shake him away.

He could see the flying movements of Maca just now, and the smooth and swift small arc movement undoubtedly showed that Maca's flexibility is beyond doubt.

Closer, closer, Maca really started to spin.

Darren immediately moved towards the middle door, but unexpectedly Maca just pulled up, but did not make any lateral displacement.

This is fake!Use the illusion of a small rotation to deceive the goalkeeper and return to the goal, but he only needs to use the power of the rotation to pull back to the height of the side goal ring to throw the ball.

The Guifei ball was thrown into the right ring that has become an empty goal without any accident, a beautiful goal!

Ten pitching drills did not take long, and Maca relentlessly scored 90 points under Darren's defense.If the last ball hadn't been rubbed to an edge by Darren's fingers, Maca would have passed with full marks.

"Awesome!" Darren greeted Maca flying to the sidelines with a bitter face. He said while flying, "This year's Quidditch Cup, you will be our Hufflepuff team's secret weapon! No, yes Super secret weapon!"

"I have never seen such a talented new player! It's almost the same as those rookie monsters in professional trials!"

"Senior Darren, don't say that. Quidditch is a team competitive sport. Not one person can handle the whole game." Maca smiled.

This is indeed the case. For example, in the World Cup, there are always some surprisingly strong elite players, but so what?In the Quidditch game of the total points system, it is not that you win more games to win the championship. Personal heroism is always just a joke.

Even the Golden Snitch, which is worth 150 points, will be overshadowed by the basic score obtained by the high-level teamwork.Not to mention the personal level of the chaser, tacit cooperation is king.

"Next is the final stage. The content of the test is very simple, try to avoid the attack from the batter to you!"
